SBUS46160 Professional Impact Project B

Academic Year 2023/2024

This professional impact project asks students to apply academic-based business knowledge as well as incompany experience to an applied, real-life business
challenge/opportunity. The project is jointly designed and supported by UCD Smurfit School lecturers and the Bord Bia. Students are expected to work in teams
and complete the project using the information available to them as well as any other useful sources. Students are expected to manage the process with a high
level of autonomy and to use the module coordinator for advice and support as appropriate. The supervision of the projects will vary from project to project but
includes a series of regular meetings with the module co-ordinator and regular interaction with the sponsor from Bord Bia.
